Nick Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 2.7 million quid - and off the wage bill. I really did think we would get a fee for him and he'd go - didn't expect it would be Bayern Leverkusen though - good luck to him.

The kid has talent, maybe they can extract it out of him. Best of luck Gray, i hope you become the player we thought you could have been. 1
st albans fox Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 He wants to play at a decent level and there were no takers over here - good luck to him maybe he can resurrect his career - he’s young enough 1
Blue ROI Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 He never lived up to his early promise. There was too many times he'd do something wondrous but made no impact in games that followed. But it's strange in that the 10 or so games I attended since promotion that he had quite an impact in most of the games which surprised me. Set up the 4th goal against Swansea in April 2016. Came close against West Ham in 2017, scored a week later against Burnley. Got a goal v brighton the day Rodgers was appointed. I wasn't keen on him for a finish but It's quite respectable. Only Vardy and Mahrez scored more when I attended. Then theres the other goals like Utd, Everton and Cardiff which were sublime. Overall there are some great highs among the lows. We didn't splash out that much so it's not a complete write-off a la Adrien Silva. Not sure he will get the consistency right at Leverkusen but best of luck to him. 2
wardyfox86 Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 We could have had him here for 10 years and he likely wouldn't have excelled. Maybe he can realise his potential after a move to Germany. Serge Gnabry springs to mind. 4
Spudulike Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 Didn't he come from Birmingham with a sell-on clause?
AjcW Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 Just now, Spudulike said: Didn't he come from Birmingham with a sell-on clause? Usually expire when in last year of contract. Might be wrong though
jeffschlupp Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 1 minute ago, Spudulike said: Didn't he come from Birmingham with a sell-on clause? 15%, but it's more commonplace nowadays for those to be 'of future profit' rather than of the total sale value, in which case we don't owe them anything 1
Popular Post Paninistickers Posted 30 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 30 January 2021 I wish him.well. He's provided some good memories. Been in or around the team for all of his 5years. Squads need some 'Indians' - not all are chiefs. Delighted he'll now be playing at a good level and not selling himself short at some garbage like Fulham. I'll keep an eye on Leverkusen with interest. Thanks and good luck, Demi. 15 1

Don't understand some of the stick he gets, seemed to be more personal than with most players for some reason. Hope he does well at Leverkusen. I think to be fair it was his overall demeanor rather than his football. We love our players to give 100% be fast learners and capable of listening to instructions and do it with some kind of humility and a smile. He’s lacking in much of this

UniFox21 Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 "Leverkusen believe Gray could make an impact in the Bundesliga as other young English players have done, such as Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham, who have starred for Borussia Dortmund since their moves to the German top flight." Im rather shocked to see Gray compared to Sancho and Bellingham. He's one of the bigger names in the England u21 squad from the other year that hasn't kicked on at all.

Pliskin Posted 30 January 2021 Posted 30 January 2021 Engineered a good move for himself on end. Good luck to him, I hope he can kick on and follow in the footsteps of the likes of Sancho and really kick on there. Good luck to him!

I’m okay with that, even better if he does it in another country. For whatever reason it hasn’t worked out for him here and regardless of what he achieves in the game from now on, it is the right move for both parties for him to move on and try and make something of his career.
